(英音版)新概念英語第三冊第8課:The best and the worst

字號:

Lesson 8 The best and the worst 好的和差的
    課文內(nèi)容:
    Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for‘The Nicest Garden Competition’each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
    Notes on the text 課文注釋
    1 Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. 喬·桑德斯擁有我們鎮(zhèn)上漂亮的花園。在第1冊的第107-112課中,我們講到了英文中形容詞和副詞的比較級和高級。本課的主要句型仍是形容詞和副詞的比較級和高級。如果形容詞或副詞有兩個(gè)以上音節(jié),其比較級和高級是在形容詞或副詞前加上more或most,如more interesting, the most beautiful。
    2 enter for, 報(bào)名參加(各種競賽,考試等活動(dòng))
    3 more flowers and vegetables, 更多的花卉和蔬菜。英語中有些形容詞或副詞的比較級和高級并不規(guī)則,如課文中的 good----better----best, bad----worse----worst, many----more----most。
    4 for the worst garden in the town 是介詞短語作定語,修飾prize。
    參考譯文
    喬·桑德斯擁有我們鎮(zhèn)上漂亮的花園。幾乎每個(gè)人都參加每年舉辦的“佳花園競賽”,而每次都是喬獲勝。比爾·弗里斯的花園比喬的花園大,他比喬也更為勤奮,種植的花卉和蔬菜也更多,但喬的花園更富有情趣。他修筑了一條條整潔的小路,并在一個(gè)池塘上架了一座小木橋。我也喜歡花園,但我卻不愿意辛勤勞動(dòng)。每年的花園競賽我也參加,但總因是鎮(zhèn)上劣的花園而獲得一個(gè)小獎(jiǎng)!
